Rangers fan here - Rod is one hell of a coach. He got his team ready to play every night. Carolina was the toughest team I've seen the Rangers play in years.

Rod is a fine coach and a class act…..NYR fan here with much respect for this man.

Class act as a Ranger fan I’ve always respected him as a player and now a coach.

Not a Canes fan but I respect the organization primarily because of Brind’amour. Pure class. Was a player you’d love to have on your team and has transitioned into the face of the organization. All around exceptional person. Nothing but respect for the guy.

Lifer Ranger fan here but this is a solid dude right here. Your team played incredible.

Lifetime Ranger Fan Here - Rod great job. Your team was tough and they played their hearts out even when they were down 3 games to 0. I just hope you'll stay with the Canes and and keep this a successful organization in the southeast. Thank you, your team and your fans for a great series.

Im a Ranger fan, but believe Rod is a true class act. He could coach my team or any other every day and twice on Sundays.

What a great coach. I don't think I've ever seen a more honest post-game interview. I'm a Ranger fan but I know we beat a great team, I know our goalie was the difference, I know puck luck was on our side last night.

Ranger fan here but this guy is so good. carolina gonna be a lot different next year. if they let him walk , dumbest move ever

Much love and respect from Rangers town. I love this guy! !

Life long Boston fan and … Awesome coach. Tough, thoughtful and smart. Any team would be lucky to have this guy as a leader.

Say whatever you want about this guy, but he has his guys playing their asses off every single game all year long. This is the toughest team to play against. Maybe not the most talented.

Huge fan of rod. Lets go Rangers!

Rod is a great coach! ❤

Rod is a top coach if he walks the Canes are worse off.

Two teams that actually RESPECT each other.

Class act.

Top 3 coach in league!

Class act. Much respect.

I'm a rangers fan who lives in NC and the rivalry i get to watch between the 2 teams is electric. Hell of a coach and his team really does rally around them. They are a really tough team and it was really a series of inches. We just got the lucky bounces ar the right times

It'll be a mistake if the Canes let him walk, Rod is a great coach.

This guy brought stability and credibility and a ora to that carolina team hes def a good coach good for the leauge i feel like

Respect to Rod from a Rangers fan.

I feel like Rod will go down as one of the best coaches we will ever see.

Absolute class act !

Die hard Ranger fan here, Rod is truly a top 5 coach in the league. It’s unfortunate that Carolina will probably part ways with him at some point, amazing guy & very smart

To Toronto Rod goes. Rangers fan here. Canes would have destroyed anyone else in this playoff, except the Panthers. Really good hockey team. Tough one and respect.

Great series! IMO the best two teams in the NHL. Rod is just pure class and refreshing to hear his analysis. If I were Jersey I'd make sure this guy doesn't walk before bringing on a new coach. He would be great (anywhere). Great hockey! Good luck to NYR the rest of the way~

Toronto would pounce on Rod if he's available.

Rangers fan here, but Rod Brind'Amour is a class act.

I'm a rangers fan, but this Coach is a damn good coach, He gets the best out of his roster, Terrible Front Office however, The rangers got Adam fox, and trochek from Carolina, While the Hurricanes got Brady skjei, amd Tony D'Angelo from NY,

Class A guy, great season Rod and the Cains

great battle thanks carolina

Luv Brind’amour…..wish he would coach the leafs now….yeah…😋✨

Best team in the playoffs. No one played a more consistent style and no team played more consistently than Carolina. They all pressed as a team on the forecheck all the time. Love this guy. Amazing style of hockey they play. It’s wild how through the whole series the rangers couldn’t spend more than a minute in Carolina’s zone. And then from minute 50-55 they dominated. The most pressure the rangers had in the entire series.

If Carolina ever got their panties in a bunch and moved on from Rod, the guy would have another job the day beforeeee YESTERDAY! There would be teams willing to fire their current head coaches to bring him in. He's a top 5, I actually think Top 3 coach in the NHL. He works for a SMALL market team that has grown it's fan base and hockey in the city x100 because of his success year in and year out! You can'tttt argue with consistency! The championship will eventually come whether its in Carolina or elsewhere as I began my post by saying. Great Coach and Class Act. 👍

Class act. Respect to Rod Brind’Amour.

Rod, total respect from a Ranger fan. Class act as a player and coach.

Welcome to Toronto Rod!

Carolina has nothing to be ashamed of, they played great all year and should be proud of the effort, talent and class they displayed.

Come coach the Leafs! Work ethic needs to be shown by the teams leader, and this guy has the intensity needed.

Class guy!

Hot Rod ! Fantastic Coach . . .

Shesterkin was the MVP of the series. Switch goalies and the Canes easily win this series. Canes HAVE to upgrade at goaltender or else this will be repeated next year and the year after that. And they also HAVE to resign Brind'Amour. A no-brainer there. The very second Brind'Amour becomes available to other teams, his phone will be ringing and ringing and ringing and teams will be throwing money at him. One of the very best coaches in the league and everyone knows it.

Any organization would be lucky w him at the Helm n ima NYRangers fan. I tip my hat to u sir

Hell of a series! Both teams played their asses off!

Sorry to say this but Rangers don't win a single game if Igor didn't play like he did. The guy was fucking unreal. Canes had 67 more shots on goal for the entire series lol. You can see how quickly we would get goals as soon as we could get past Igor for the first or second time, because the rest of the rangers team was hardly there. Canes just choked like they usually do. Giving up short handed goals, and making huge mistakes defensively and offensively that just bring the rangers right back in. The puck being handed to them on a silver platter way too many times. Don't think the rangers have the team to win the stanely cup but they sure as fuck got the goalie for it. #hardtobeacanesfan

Best coach in the league - a pens fan

As a Ranger fan Carolina had me worried they are a good team and Rod is a great coach and good man..could have went either way and alot of these soft crosscheck calls are being made and it happened to the rangers also

You guys are a phenomenal regular season team, but just can't hack the playoffs. Now, let's all bow to the Rangers and continue to be in awe of their season! LGR!!!!!!!!!

If the canes fire Rod that would be the biggest mistake in cane’s history! Coming from a die hard ranger fan !

what a Hockey player, what a Coach, so glad he will be a Caine for a long time, "The Hockey Writers" saying he will sign with Leafs, no way Jose

I think the his contact is going to be on hold for a while. As much as I want him to return as there head coach next year there were very high expectations for this team and they should have at least reached the Stanley cup finals.

He is a good man, and his team eats whole bean coffee before the game just like him . They don't have top notch talent so they have to play Chaos hockey , and in key moments when needed Canes could not execute some high end plays the way Rangers did.

It's funny as a Ranger fan I always HATED Brindamour on the Flyers but as a coach he's super likeable. Great coach too.

What a class act for a coach! I really like this guy! Heaven forbid it happening, but, if the 'canes organization decides to fire him, we, in Utah with our new NHL franchise will be looking for a coach, and this guy would be at the top of my list!

welcome to toronto Roddy

Rangers fan here. Canes rock... your team is so good I almost feel bad you lost. After game 5, I was sure we were cooked. Just wanted to pay my respects to the team and fans of the Canes.

Great series, later fellas. LFG NYR

Yea. Rangers fan here. It’s no consolation for Canes fans but the reality is that it’s a game of millimeters and Carolina could have won this series. Easily. And that’s why sports kinda suck. It’s a lot of luck. Bounces, injuries, refs, etc.

I feel bad he's a great coach and a winner. Class act

One day in the summer of 95 as me and another guy were getting ready in the locker room to play a pickup game at Holydel Rink in Jersey , the door flies open and in walks Rod with his gear. He just wanted to skate and he played the whole hour and a half with us.

The WORST thing is …… if he goes to Toronto!…biggest mistake of his career!

Rangers fan also Carolina is one of the best teams in the nhl. They have had a problem of getting clutch goals for years. If they fire rod Carolina will fall into shambles and be like Washington capitals. They’ll still make the playoffs but with a -30 goal differential. Peter laviollete and rod are good friends

You blew it, Freddie. Don't have what it takes to win the games that matter in the playoffs just like many on the Leafs etc. then and still who can't crack it in the playoffs. That's the difference between NHL players and All-World players.

Anderson unfortunately is not built for playoff pressure. Just is what it is.

Thank god Kuznetsov is gone no more cheesy goal celebrations

Brindamour all series sounded like he knew the Rangers were going to eliminate them. In every single interview.

man these reporters didn't watch the series, what dumb questions

Rod is turning before our eyes into that William Dafoe meme

Brin D’Amour will brind no more !

Staal lost 2 games for them this series with a stupid penalty. What a captain.

The Leafs brass should interview Rod B, for the HC position -Toronto Maple Leafs? Tre, get-r-done!

Hurricanes should keep Rod. They had a great year.

Great job Rod, way to keep putting Andersen in net when it was very clear, even in the Islanders series, he didn't have it. This is 100% on you.

he's a good coach, i don't know if i would call him great-----only 1 conference finals appearance in 6 years ( and got swept) and they usually have one of the top 5 regular season records ( their kinda like the leafs but go 1 round further ) and look at his record over the past 10 playoff games in 1 goal games---most of them they lost.

Tell everyone the truth “Anderson sucked.” Please don’t have him back next year. No more lazy goalies

Rod said it. Anderson lost us the game! anderson has to be gone! Horrific, No excuse! Need top goalie. Need great young D man. We will be fine but goalie’s these days make a huge difference.

As a Leafs fan I can tell you right now why Carolina keeps losing! It your goaltender Frederik Andersen!! He's NOT and elite goaltender. He chokes when you need him most, he did in Toronto and he's doing it in Carolina. He lets in the KILLER soft goal at the biggest moments.

This was a total GOALTENDING meltdown!! Not the coach!!

Thank your underperforming captain, he made it happen. Penalty that will be remembered, how many goals did Stahl made in all of playoffs!!!

Coach of Carolina does have his players playing hard all the time he’s a decent coach, but he can’t get them over the hump. Just look at the last three years no championship knocking at the door. Can’t walk through it changes need to happen.

It’s a travesty that they keep trotting out Andersen every year expecting a different result. It’s unfair to the rest of this team, they work so hard and play fantastic playoff hockey, with a different goalie they could push further into the run. Never going to win with Fred.

not sure where they need to start, but the Canes need to take a step back, look within their core and do a bit of a makeover. this isnt working long term in the playoffs.

toronto needs hiim

I think Rod is 1 or 2 Seasons away from winning a Stanley Cup. He was a great player and he's a great coach! Would be stupid of Carolina to let him go..

Anyone who concusses Lindros WWE style is A-OK in my book.

Andersen fd up the series, one good game out of five…get a top 10 ten goalie, or you don’t stand a chance…✌️

Different team next year. 8 unrestricted free agents

carolina couldn't contend with goal tending. they have a great team but in playoffs its always comes down to the net minders

Carolina better back up the brinks truck Without brind’amour as coach they’re doneeeee

UNREAL HOW YOU BLOW A 3 1 LEAD AT HOME AND GIVE UP A HATRICK LESS THAN 9 MINS.

He looks and sounds like Jimmy Fallon and Bobcat Goldthwait had a kid, with that weird fluctuation in his voice and eyeballs popping. lol

Brendan Shanahan has entered the chat.

Alot of luck in hockey....players on you so quick....deflections screens. Difference between scoring and not is so little. With all the wow over nyr..and yes they are excellent team..florida will be a series favorite...lines are out....

Whats with all this “letting Rod walk” talk? He’s not going anywhere.

Jesus I hope hockey doesn’t become like soccer

Don’t worry canes fans the panther will get the job done.

I didn't watch every period of every game but from what I see they out shot rangers every game and essentially got goalied by Igor

Love ya' Rod and your boys! Hope to see you behind the bench next season....but Toronto would love to have you.
